Probably not, simply because this is one of the hardest thing to do for most of us. This has definitely been a challenge for me and it’s something I am focusing on becoming better at in 2014. The challenge this week is to question every purchase you make and before walking to a store make a list of the things you need and tell yourself you will not deviate from that list. One final tip, give yourself a budget. Whether you are going into Target or Nordstrom walk in knowing that you only have X amount of money to spend.

Learn to choose well. In the long run it’s always worth paying a little more for a high quality item than to pay less for something you are going to have to keep replacing.

As women sometimes ugly thoughts come into our heads and we tend to believe them. But do yourself a favor, when those thoughts come, stop what you are doing and begin to think about the things you like about yourself. Maybe you like your hair or the shape of your nails, don’t always focus on the big things. Little things matter too.
